The portions of the wires next the down-turned ends aro embedded in strips, C, of cloth or felt, which, just previous to its application, is saturated in white leed or other suitable substance. Over the strips O I place plates I), prefer'- ably of sheet metal, which plates I secure by nails or screws d driven through the strips and into the substance ofthe rail. The groeve a is then filled with cement or putty E. The sides ofthe wire webbing are secured by wires F rove through the two outermost spirals, and made fast to the sido rails G lby means of staples II.
